Thanks to Stereogum, you can now download my favorite track off Menomena’s forthcoming Mines. “Taos” is wailing, explosive, and bluesy — it puts me in the mind of the Black Keys’ Brothers, which is definitely a good thing. Here’s the dish on Mines: — The official release date is July 27.– The band will be playing a free, all-ages in-store show at Queen Anne’s Easy Street on July 28. — They’ll also be headlining the Showbox at the Market on September 10.– The entire album is streaming on NPR right now. — If you pre-order the record through Barsuk, you get a ton of extras, like a seven-inch single with exclusive non-album tracks and a limited-edition glow-in-the-dark poster.– Click here to go to Stereogum and download “Taos” and “Five Little Rooms.”
